NashvillePost.c... - Francis Guess — a revered titan among Nashville’s civic leaders — has died at his home. He was 69.

Known largely as a civil rights advocate and humanitarian, Guess
served on the National Civil Rights Commission and as the first
African-American commissioner for the Tennessee departments of Labor and
General Services under then-Gov. Lamar Alexander.

Guess, a
Nashville native, worked in military intelligence with the U.S. Army
during the Vietnam conflict. He would later earn a bachelor’s degree in
political science from Tennessee State University and a master’s degree
in business administration from the Vanderbilt University Owen Graduate
School of Management. Eventually, he completed the Senior Executives in
State and Local Government program at Harvard University.
